AR Automation Updates
Split Merchant JELs update
Merchant Download Automation job
Payment Processors
The Split Merchant JELs (Journal Entry Lines) enhancement that was included as a part of our Spring ’25 release has been updated with additional improvements. When the Split Merchant JELs checkbox in the Payment Processors screen is selected, each JEL recorded on the Merchant GL Account will set the Reference field on the Journal Entry (JE) for the Merchant Funds Transfer to the Merchant Batch ID on the transaction. Also, if Convenience Fees are enabled on the Payment Processor, for each JEL that debits the Unapplied Cash GL Account (or for a Cash Ledger, the Unapplied Revenue GL Account), the Reference field will be set to the Merchant Batch ID on the transaction.
Merchant Funds Transfer Journal Entry
Merchant Download Automation job
The naming convention on the Merchant Funds Transfer Journal Entry has been updated to clearly distinguish between ACH and Credit Card transactions. If a Journal Entry is related to a Credit Card, the naming convention will be “Merchant Funds Transfer Credit Card YYYY-MM-DD. If the Journal Entry is related to an ACH payment, it will be “Merchant Funds Transfer ACH YYYY-MM-DD.”
Enhanced Payment Processors page
The OOTB (out of the box) Lightning page for Payment Processors has been updated to allow for an easier AR Automation onboarding process when adding a Sola Payment Processor. The New Payment Processor dialog box has been updated to include the following distinct sections:
- Information
- Configuration Options
- GL Mapping
- Convenience Fees
- System Information
Transaction Import Errors
The Transaction Import Error page for Sola has been enhanced to include more details. The following additional column headings have been added:

- Bill Email Address (80 maximum characters)
- Bill Phone Number (80 maximum characters)
- Invoice (255 maximum characters)

On the new column headings with 255 as the maximum characters, if more than the maximum number of characters are included, the information will be truncated. However, on the new column headers with 80 as the maximum characters (Bill Email address and Bill Phone Number), if more than the maximum number of characters are included, the field will be left blank.
Note: You can access the Transaction Import Errors page by clicking the Related tab on the Payment Processor screen.

AP Automation Updates
Invoice Capture Pages
A new field (Invoice Capture Pages) has been added to the AI Invoice Capture feature, which was introduced in our Spring ’25 release. The invoice Capture Pages field allow you to enter the actual page numbers from the default invoice file that you want to be captured by AI Invoice Capture. Each page number entered must be comma separated. For example, an invoice might include ten pages, but you only want to capture the first five pages, enter 1,2,3,4,5 in the Invoice Capture Pages field. For additional information, refer to the Invoice Capture Pages section in the AI Invoice Capture article.
Payment Services – Payment Failure Alert Flow
Update the Payment Failure Alerts Flow Template
A new Payment Services – Payment Failure Alert flow is available to run for receiving an email alert on failed payments from Payment Services. Before using this new flow, there are a few steps that you need to complete to update the template with your relevant email information. For more information, refer to the Update the Payment Failure Alerts Flow Template article.
Cash Disbursement – Block and Return Virtual Card Funds
Cash Disbursement – Block and Return Virtual Card Funds
With this release, when the Block and Return Funds button is clicked on a Cash Disbursement, if the Accounting Period is closed or soft closed, a warning message will display, If you want the funds to be returned and have the reversal posted in the same period, open the Accounting Period. Then, return to the Cash Disbursement, and click Block and Return Funds to try again.
If you do not want to open the period, you can now search and select an Accounting Period in which to create the reversal. For more information, refer to the Block and Return Virtual Card Funds section of the Payment Services article.
Bank Disbursement – Payment Failure
If an ACH payment fails in Edenred Pay during the FBO (for benefit of) process, the Status field on the Bank Disbursement is set to "Failure." If this occurs, for better visibility, the Payment Service Status field on the related Cash Disbursement will display as “Declined.”
AP Vendor Emails
The email address(es) in the AP Vendor Emails field on the Account record will display in Edenred Pay on the Vendor Management | Vendor Information screen in the CC Remit Emails (comma separated) field.
Customer Requested Enhancements
Master Billings on the Homepage
With this release, Accounting Home now includes a hyperlink to the Master Billings page. From Accounting Home, you can click the Create Entries tab. Then, under the Revenues menu, click Master Billings.
Automated Job Results Exception Report – Warning message
Review an Automated Job Results Exception Report
In addition to the “Error” message that can display as a column heading on the Exception Report, a “Warning” message column heading can now be included. The “Warning” message might display when the Merchant Download Job runs, and includes a Master Billing where the related Billing Cash Receipt (BCR) failed to be created. A “Warning” message will have no effect on the Automated Job Results Succeeded, Failed, or Processed count.
Journal Entry Clone/Reverse Clone Functionality
Create or Clone a Journal Entry
The Journal Entry Clone w/Lines & Reverse Clone w/Lines field set functionality has been enhanced with this release. When you Clone w/Lines or Reverse Clone w/Lines, only those fields that are included on the respective field set (Journal Entry fields to Clone or Journal Entry Line fields to Clone) will be included as part of the clone/reverse clone process. For more information, refer to the Clone a Journal Entry section of the Create or Clone a Journal Entry article.
Merge Billings - new Field Set
A new “Billing fields to Merge” field set is now available for adding custom fields that you want to be included as part of the Merge Billing process on the Billing header. For the Billing Lines, the same field set that is used when cloning a Billing (Billing Line fields to Clone) can be used to add fields when using the Merge Billing process. To add fields to this new field set or to the existing cloning field set, refer to the Edit a Field Set article.
Important: After installing the Summer '25 Preview 1 release, your custom fields will not be copied until they have been manually added to the new field set.
Software Corrections
If a customer’s timezone was different than the local timezone on the computer, this may have created an issue with the transaction date on the Ledger Inquiry Report (one of the Standard Financial Reports). This issue has been corrected.
Billings were not being filtered out on the Receive Payments screen when there was a Billing that belonged to customer who had a Payment Processor record without a Payment Method in both Sola and Accounting Seed. The “No active payment methods exist. Please create a payment method in order to create a payment” error message displayed. This issue has been corrected.
Billing State/Province Picklist
With Edenred Pay, on an org with Salesforce State and Country picklists enabled, the Billing State/Province on the Account was not being converted to the appropriate two-letter state and/or territory abbreviation when a US territory or the District of Columbia was selected. This prevented the payment from processing. This issue has been corrected.
- Billing Cash Receipts (BCRs) – With LDO enabled, Billing Cash Receipts were not posting due to an “AcctSeed: Too many query rows: 50001” error message. This issue has been resolved.
- Journal Entries and Journal Entry Lines on a Bank Rec – With LDO enabled, there was an issue with Journal Entries and Journal Entry Lines that have been cleared on a Bank Reconciliation being able to be unposted and have the lines edited. When attempting to unpost and edit the lines, a message should display to indicate the record must not be associated with a Bank Reconciliation. This issue has been corrected so that the error will now display as expected.
When using the Payable Pay intermediate screen or creating a new Cash Disbursement, the Cash Flow Category field was not being automatically populated based upon the Cash Flow Statement information in the Enablements screen. This issue has been resolved.
